Snohomish in Bloom: Recap 3

First up, Jessica of Jessica Haughian created an absolutely fabulous floral frame for photographs. Positioned just outside Maple + Moss Boutique, the frame offered the perfect spot for visitors to step behind the flowers and take a selfie. Designed in a rainbow of colors, it was gorgeous!

The floral butterfly was another big hit with visitors! Designed by Lori of Lori Laufmann and Sandy of Sandy Summers, this colorful creation was displayed at FIRST AND MAIN | Real Estate Brokerage, right across from the main hub of activity at the Carnegie Building. It certainly caught everyone’s attention and super busy with selfies.

And finally, we’re sharing the gorgeous installation created by Geneva of My Eclectic Home on First Street. How beautiful is this fall harvest-inspired design? Gorgeous display to welcome people into the shop.

A big thank-you to all three designers for sharing their creativity and helping make Snohomish In Bloom so special!

Snohomish in Bloom: Recap 2 | Wearable Floral Art

Sharing two amazing floral dresses designed by Andrea Goffin Andrea Goffin for Snohomish in Bloom!

Each dress had its own personality. The first, displayed at One Common, was an explosion of flowers! A flower cowgirl, complete with gold boots and a cowgirl hat, ready to take on downtown Snohomish.

The second was a short bridal-inspired floral dress displayed at For the Luv of Bridal-Luv Laineemeg, bringing a whole different chic look.

So much thought, creativity, planning, and hard work went into bringing these designs to life. Andrea is sharing some of her original sketches, giving us a peek behind the scenes and showing how these ideas evolved into the finished creations.

A wonderful example of the artistic talent that helped make Snohomish in Bloom so special. Thank you, Andrea, for sharing your vision with all of us!

Snohomish in Bloom: Recap 1 | How It Began

One year in the making!

It all started with an idea between Carol and Beth of Flower Farmer Girls - Beth and Carol , fill downtown Snohomish with flowers. Beth sent me, Alicia, a text asking if I’d like to be involved. Of course, I said. Flowering downtown Snohomish sounded like so much fun!
Soon, friends Rebecca of Snohomish Wedding & Event Venue and Quynh of Quynh Nguyen joined in, followed by Mandy of snohomish_valley_floral - and our board was formed. Before we knew it, we were working with the City of Snohomish and so many others to bring the first-ever Snohomish in Bloom to life.

On Saturday, September 12, 2026, that idea became a reality! The Carnegie Building served as our main hub, hosting the Botanical Market, five community classes, and the Dahlia Show, along with several floral installations.

A few numbers from our inaugural event:
• 25 Floral Installations
• 25 Botanical Market Vendors
• 5 Class instructors

From the very beginning, people embraced the idea and jumped in to help. A huge thank-you to everyone who shared their time, talents, and enthusiasm to make this event happen. We couldn’t have done it without you!

This is just the beginning of our recap series. In the following slides I will be sharing who designed each floral design installation.

We can’t wait to celebrate the people behind the blooms!

Nasturtiums are going wild in my front yard. The last hurrah before the inevitable freeze gets them…

A beautiful fall day to visit two favorite plant places in Seattle.

First stop Ravenna Gardens at University Village. This shop is so fabulous, every nook and cranny has fun items to discover. We were in search of cute pansies and were thrilled with their selection.

Next we visited Swansons Nursery where I picked up bulbs for species tulips and my mom picked up more cute pansies. Plus, lunch in the greenhouse is quite enjoyable.

Highly recommend visiting both Ravenna Gardens and Swansons Nursery — beautifully inspiring for plant addicts! 🪴

Ella & Simon helping with the fall harvest.
The foliage colors are so rich right now with the cooler nights - geraniums, peony, spirea, and even some thornless rose stems with burgundy foliage. So good!

October = annual visit to Eddie Gordon

An absolute visual treat with the incredible selection of pumpkins and gourds. A sign shared they grow over 150 varieties at the farm! Add in dried flowers, farm supplies, trees dropping their colorful fall leaves. 🍂
It’s a beautiful place to visit, and buy lots of pumpkins! Thank you to everyone at Eddie Gordon for working so hard to create such a special place.

Followed by a delicious lunch at COA MEXICAN EATERY in La Conner.

A fall visit to Skagit Valley is highly recommended 💕💕
